vCISO/ Fractional CISO Support
Executive cybersecurity leadership - without the full time cost
You don’t need to hire a full-time CISO to get full-time confidence. Hive Systems offers vCISO services backed by a team of seasoned cybersecurity professionals - each with over a decade of real-world experience. Whether you’re building your first cybersecurity program or managing complex compliance demands, our virtual CISOs deliver clarity, structure, and leadership from day one.
We don’t just advise. We lead, execute, and build scalable programs designed to grow with your business.
Backed by experts who’ve seen it all
What sets Hive Systems apart? Our people. Nearly every member of our team has 10+ years of direct cybersecurity experience across industries, frameworks, and threat landscapes. That means your vCISO engagement isn’t just one consultant - it’s a strategic relationship backed by an expert team that’s handled:
Startups under compliance pressure
Rapidly scaling tech platforms
Government and critical infrastructure environments
Audits, incidents, vendor due diligence, and everything in between
We bring proven strategies, tested playbooks, and scalable systems to help you succeed - without the guesswork.
What our vCISO services include
Every vCISO engagement is tailored to your goals, risk profile, and internal resources. We can:
Develop and manage your cybersecurity strategy and roadmap
Lead risk assessments, control design, and implementation
Support compliance efforts (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, CMMC)
Serve as your external-facing security contact for customers and regulators
Guide incident response planning and tabletop exercises
Translate cybersecurity into business terms for executives and boards
Build metrics and reporting structures that drive accountability and clarity
Your vCISO provides leadership and direction - and brings Hive’s full team with them.
Built to scale with your business
Our vCISO service is perfect for:
Startups and growth-stage companies without in-house security leadership
CTOs and COOs managing cybersecurity off the side of their desk
Organizations entering regulated markets or enterprise contracts
Any business that needs strategic oversight, fast execution, and flexible support

GRC and control management frameworks
